Other faults there are scarce veniall which deserue correction.

CHAP. 1. The alleadged, 1 antiquity of the Romish Church, and new∣nesse of the Protestants Church; 2 is shewed to be vaine for that the Protestants retain the ancient sauing faith, and 3 onely weede out the super-seminated Tares: 4 as Hezekias and other good Princes did in their times. So that 5 these two Churches differ onely as fields well wee∣ded, and ouergrowne with weeds. And 6 Protestants are not separated from the good things found in the Ro∣man Church, but from the Papacy which is a dominee∣ring faction in the Church: 7 For the Doctrines where∣of, the ancient Martyrs suffered not, but for the Do∣ctrines which Protestants hold.

CHAP. 2. Of corruptions in the Church. Sheweth, 1 that particular Churches may erre: as did 2 those of the Old Testament: and 3 of the New: for which 4 we find many reasons in the Scriptures. 5 The Roman Church is not excepted: but 6 warned thereof: and 7 it hath been corrupted, de facto. Yea 8 Rome is the mysticall Babylon: and 9 the seat of Antichrist: and 10 taynted with foule impieties, as well foregoing as following Antichrist.

CHAP. 3. Of the time when corruptions came into the Roman Church. 1 A designation of the time when the corruptions first came into the Church, required. 2 often, and often aswered. 3 many crept in secretly and insensibly: 4 as them∣selues acknowledge, 5 best knowne by their difference from their first pure doctrine. 6. The Romans cannot find the beginnings of our doctrines on this side the Scrip∣tures: 7 We can, and doe, many of theirs. 8 No Church in the world held the now Romish doctrines, but onely the Romish Church it selfe in these later times.

CHAP. 4. Corruptions in the Church of Rome, seene, written against, and reformation wished for them. An historicall Narration, 1 of the first age of the Church golden: but 2 afterwards peeped vp some seedes of cor∣ruption, misliked of many in the East, South, and West Churches. 3 A foule matter of three Popes alledging a counterfet Canon of Nice for their Iurisdiction, which the whole Church of Africa withstood. 4 Gregory the Great wrote sharpely against the Titles which now the Popes vse. 5 B.B. of the East, France, Germany, and Britany, opposed the Pope about Images; Councels a∣gainst Councels. 6 Many thought Antichrist now borne. Constantines Donation, and the decretall Epi∣stles now first seene. 7 A deluge of wickednesse in the ninth and tenth Ages, as Bellarmine, Baronius, Gene∣brard, Page  31 &c. record. 8 After a thousand yeares, greater inundations of euils. Siluester 2. Benedict 9. a childe of ten yeares old, then Cardinals arose. 9 The Sultan subdueth many Christian Countries in the East: the Clergy most wicked in the West. Letters from Hell to them. Anti-Popes and Anti-Caesars, Rebellion made piety. Hildibrands Dictates, foundations of a new earth∣ly Church, Kingdome. 10 The Testimony of Onu∣phrius, that Gregory 7 was the first raiser of the Popes Princedome. Many Historians speake of his diuellish∣nesse. 11 Campians Historians reiected by his owne fellowes. 12 Graue Diuines against Romish corrup∣tions: Bernard, Sarisburiensis, Grosthead, Occam, Cesenas, Clemangis, Gerson, Caremacensis, Valla, &c 13 These and many others, wrote against the cor∣ruptions of Doctrine. Schoolemens philosophicall Diui∣nity. Doctrine framed to maintaine wealth and great∣nesse. 14 Particular Doctrines wherein learned men differed from the Popes faction. 15 Oxford alone af∣forded many learned men opposing Romish corruptions. 16 Reformation was sought for, and promised by the Pope; but could not be obtained.

CHAP. 5. The principall points of Doctrine, wherin the Romish and the Reformed Churches agree, and wherein they differ. Protestants refuse the popes earthly King∣dome, and maintaine Christs heauenly. 1 A note of the chief-points of Christian Doctrine, wher∣in the Protestants and Romanists fully agree, shewing al∣so the Romish additions therevnto. 2 The Protestants doctrine in generall, iustified by Cardinall Contarene, Cardinall Campeggio, and our Liturgy by Pope Pius 4. 3 But the Popes reach further, at an earthly Church-kingdome: and fourthly challenge a supremacy ouer all Christians and Churches in the world. 5 More speci∣ally ouer the Cleargy, exempting them from being sub∣iects to Princes. 6 Yea, ouer all Christian princes and their states: to depose, dispose, and transpose them: and to absolue subiects from their alleageance, to rebell, &c. 7 To dissolue Oathes, Bonds, and Leagues. 8 To giue dispensations to contract or dissolue Matrimony. 9 And other dispensations and exemptions from Lawes.

CHAP. 6. Of policies to maintaine the Popes Princedome and Wealth. 1 Depriuing men of the light of the Scriptures. And 2 of their ordinary preachings, and setting vp ambulate∣ry Monkes and Pryars, to preach without controule of Church Ministers and Officers. 3 Schoolemens too much subtilty and Philosophy, darkning and corrupting Diuinity. 4 Iesuites, their originall noted, their Semi∣naries, their Emissions, faculties, insinuations, and im∣ploiments. 5 Cardinals. 6 Prouision for men and wo∣men of all sorts, by Monasteries, &c. 7 Auricular con∣fession. 8 Other policies to gather wealth. 9 Purgato∣ry, a rich thing. 10 So are Indulgences or Pardons. 11 Jubilies. 12 Corruptions of doctrine, touching me∣rits and Justification, &c. 13 Things hallowed by the Pope. 14 Extraordinary exactions.
